Abstract
A 71-year-old man was successfully operated by a simple technique for a saccular aneurysm of innominate artery. The aneurysmectomy and graft replacement was carried out using simple clamping and caused no cerebral accident. The preoperative angiographic Matas' test showed good contralateral cross-filling. This simple technique can be useful in selected cases of innominate artery aneurysms for which surgical approaches are apt to be complicated.
